Answer:

The walkway has area 216 sq ft the pool has area (15 ft)(16 ft)=240 sq ft

Together a total area of (216 sq ft+225 sq ft)=441 sq ft since The pool and path form a square (the pool is 15ft x 15 ft and the path uniform around it)

The sides (s) of the total area are

s%5E2=441+sq+ft

s=sqrt%28441+sq+ft%29=21+feet

Each side of the total area spans the width of the path on one side then the width of the pool then the path on the other side so:

Total side=width of path + width of pool + width of path= 2*width of path+width of pool

width of path=(Total width-width of pool)/2

width of path=(21 feet - 15 feet)/2= 6 feet/2=3 Feet

ANSWER the width of the path is 3 feet

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Im not sure but 1.25 equals 1 1/4   and 16 cups equal a gallon.

16 divided by 1.25 is 12 which means that 12 of those ten servings equal a gallon.  10 times 12 is 120 which becomes ur answer. Once again im not sure but i hope that ive helped.

 John Frank Stevens, William C Gorgas and George Washington Goethals 1914 (opened)The building of the 50-mile-long Panama Canal was a collosal project, joining together the Pacific and Atlantic oceans by digging away 240 million metric tons of earth through the Isthmus of Panama. Almost as big a project was sanitising the area around the canal, which was mosquito infested and home to serious diseases like Malaria and Yellow Fever.
<span> In 1907 President Roosevelt appointed George Washington Goethals, a military engineer, as head of the project, and under his leadership the canal was finally completed in 1914, two years ahead of the 1916 target. Of benefit to the whole world, the achievement of the Panama Canal signalled American dominance in project management and engineering like no other project of the day.</span>
